I am very new to the security camera world. I have been bouncing between Dahua and hikvision. I have a budget of a about 15-1700 on cameras and nvr.

I have a long 3 car drive way that is about 45ft in length. I have Led lights on the garage that produce light for half the driveway which should be perfect for the vehicles.

I'm more looking for low light and extremely clear (hi res) if I want to be able to see 45-60ft pretty clear but I can't really make sense of the camera specs. I am looking for IP's

What dahua cameras would be best for my application? I would need US model #'s or any advice is greatly appreciated.

You will probably want a camera with a good "zoom" - varifocal - for low light look at the Dahua OEM 2MP starlights. Perhaps a IPC-HDW52xx or IPC-HFW52xx model for the driveway.
